Wipes egg from face.

/etc/sysctl.conf:

vfs.hirunningspace=4194304

So, then did r251446 actually start using this value or did other
values get significantly tuned up?  I recall now setting this nearly
a year ago when we did our ZFS tuning and it was a four fold increase
on the defaults.

Sorry for the noise.
